I am your average 20 something year old. Big dreams. No stable income. And all these dreams are centered around...you guessed it....TRAVEL.

There are so many young people with similar dreams. You could be that young person. You just want to travel and see the world. You want to learn about new cultures and try different cuisines.
Your only restriction is the size of your wallet.

Would you like to visit one of these cities in Europe? Well, so do a lot of people. Unfortunately, many give up on their dream destination because they instantly think, "too expensive".

They decide this without doing any research to actually find out how 'expensive' a place is. Granted, these are a few of the most outstanding cities in Europe and in the world. So, automatically,
they are branded as costly.

Disclaimer: I have met some of the coolest people when I was away from home. I have also listened to the coolest stories shared by fellow Africans abroad that make me want to pack up my bags and
move to new places...every day.

But to be honest, many people will say the strangest things and ask the weirdest questions when they meet Africans. I kid you not. Allow me to share the top 20 of the most outrageous
statements that people have said to my friends and I only because we said the 'A' word.

Growing up, no one calls you black at the playground or in class. 'Being black' is such a non-factor that we do not consider it. So, when we experience our 'blackness' through someone else's
eyes, we are caught off guard.
